friend, asked him how his wheat looked
this was some time after the wheat ba5
been seededl. The reply was, it had not
come up The question was then asked
"Was it rolled after plantings" "Not al
all l." was the reply; II do not believe in
rolling after planting" "Why not!n was
asked "Well, don't believe in it," The
two friends then walked out to the feld
where the wheat was seeded, and on reach.
ing it they observed green spots at inter.
walls. These green spots were examined
and found to be a uniform growth az
wheat, and the space they occupied was
the exact Footprint where the proprieto,
walked over the field Immediately afte,
seeding. 1t was only in those prints that
any wheat had made its appearance in
the field.
There is not market gardener that
knew of who does not press the soil to
every seed he plants, either by placing
board over the seed after covering with
fine earth, and walking over he boar J, Or
by using suitable roller. Peter Hender
.
most successful gardener, tells us that 10
succeed with the most delicate seed the
fine soil must be pressed TO them. i
there any consistency in opposing The
only means of accomplishing the best
results because the harder cereals will
grow with rougher treatment than the
most delicate garden seed Why not give
both the cultivation required to produce
the best results? AS to the frepriety Of
rolling after the grain is up, it depends
entirely upon circumstances, If the
wheat was seeded upon crudely and
roughly prepared land in the autumn.
or upon land imperfectly drained, rolling
in the spring Immediately after the frost
leaves the ground, would increase the
yield thousands of bushels-in every
state where winter wheat is seeded-by
recovering tho roots thrown out by the
frost. In fact, / know of no instance
where winter grain would not be i'm.
proved by rolling in early spring, and,
when not thrown out of the ground, BY
both narrowing and rolling. The work
ing, by loosening the surface soil, admits
the fertility from the atmosphere, and
gives new life to the plant. This does
not bake the land-to do that requires an
amount Of heat which the sun does not
possess ct this season, and water in excess
in the soil when worked.
But under no circumstances should land
be rolled when wet.

The Origin Of Cattle

Prof. Boyd Davkins, as the result of
his Investigations as TO the origin of
British breeds of cattle, believes the two
principal stocks from which all the breeds
ara descend ID are undoubtedly (l) the
Urus, an animal wild in the forests of
Europe later than the days of Charles the
Great and which is believed 10 have been
extinct in the British Isles; p the BOs
lonifrons, or "small Celtic Shorthorn,
an animal which never was aboriglnally
wild in Europe. Both were probably
domesticated in Asia, and both made their
appearance together in the Neohthic
age, in the possession Of those who lived
on the wooden platforms and artificial
islands in the Swiss lakes. The RI mains
Of the latter are lac says, to be found all
over Europe in heaps OF refuse belong
ing 20 various periods from the Neolthic
down 70 well within the historical period.
II is the only domestic OK which he has
met with in the large number OF refuse
heaps in the British Isles, ranging from
the Neolithie age down 70 .he time Of the
English invasion. and is represented by
the present Highland cattle, small Welsh
ana small Irish cattle,

American AgrIcultufist

American AgricuituHst
Soil is the basis of all agricultural OPP
erations. 1t is largely mineral in its
character, although all good natural soils
contain q considerable, but very varying
proportion, of vegetable matter, which is
chiefly partially decomposed and in the
condition called mold or humus. The
constituents of soil may be regarded
either as totheir relative size, or with ref
ereuce TO their chemical characters. The
bare fact that tbs article we are consider
ing is called soil indicates that its par
ticles have that degree of dneness that
they will retain some moisture, and that
some portions of them are so fine as TO
yield up some of their soluble constitu-
ents to water which may stand in contact
with them. Most soils will, if carefully
examined, be found to consist of stones
and gravel of various sizes, coarse sand
fine sand, very fine sand, powder, very fine
powder, impair able powder, and material
so fins that il a spoonful of the soil be
put into a goblet of water it will render
the water turbid, so that it may not settle
and become clear for several days. Now
the coarser particles of the soil, it will be
apparent, are not OF much use to the
plant. II is the finer portions which are
most readily acted upon by the influences
of the air and water, heat and cold, to
produce plant food, while, at the same
time they afford to the seed a soft bed
and 20 the roots mellow and faborable
grouHd through which to spread and in
which to hold

FOURTH ENTERTAINMENT
BY THEPUPILS OF THE Dali
LAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Opera House Crowded from
Pit to Dome.

1t was red not at the opera house
last night. The house was packed
from pit to dome, and standing room
was at premium. Halt the audience
were children, aud some of the noisi-
est little people that ever got together.
The "gallery gods" of ye olden time
were nothing to compare with these
young bloods of America. The buz-
zing of low voices by excited mothers,
mingled with the whistling and
whooping OF the "bad bow" was con-
fusing to the last degree. The little
folks on the stage could not be heard
twenty feet from the foot lights. There
was no power on Garth that could
quiet that audience unless to turn 1t
all out of the house and commence
over again, and that experiment
would have been doubtful.
The song and chorus-"Chiming
Bells" by the Grammar School opened
the exercises. The children exhibited
good training and The song was fairly
rendered.
"The Rising,"-.a defamation by
Maggie Park of the 9th grade, was
spoken in good voice aud elected close
attention.
The Tablcau,-"Thc Gipsy's Warn
ingo and song by Miss Maudc Best
was well done. The tablaux was
heightened in beauty by the Greek
light. and Miss Bests sweet voice ris-
ING above the din and confusion was
effective.
The Grammar Schools March was
in good time.
Little Lizzie Wheeles, Ada and
Martha Smiths song of Jack aud Gill
elected much applause.
The Devil and the Lawyer by Leslie
Dean was spoken clearly and with
proper understanding.
"The School House Scene, by the
boys of the High School, was very
good-a little overdore, perhaps, but
it brought out the disposition OF boys
not under discipline.
"The Puzzled Dutchman," by Mas
ter Simon Tobianski, was to the "mon-
ner born,7 perfect, and the little fell
low was really puzzled at the shower
of bcuqets that fell around him.
The piano Duet by Ida aud Ada
Marshall could not be heard, owing TO
the noise in the audience and the posi-
ton of the piano.
"Honest Poverty was spoken well
Iby. George Edwards.
The tabIeaux, Tie Game Of Life, y
vas very beautiful and admirably set
on the stage. 1t is worthy of a full
description. Each figure was perfect,
and tho beauty of the scene brought
out a storm of applause.

Jay GOuld,s Daughter Nellie.

Nellie Gould is one of the brightest
and sweetest little ladies' in the city.
She has been fully educated and is
highly accomplished. She is an art
ist of no mean ability and her collec-
ton of bric-a-brac which has been
adorned by her pencil and brush has
been greatly admired. She dresses
plainly, but richly, and when in town
can be seen any afternoon driving
through the park with one of her
brothers. She is probably the richest
heiress in America, and at her faith
er's death will come in for 500, 900, 900
or $50, 100000. Like her mother, she
is not too proud to wait on herself,
and there are no French maids in the
Gould establishment. Mrs. Gould
and her daughter 60 shopping the
same as other women do, and return
home with their arms filled with bum
dies. They don't mind riding in

nearly as much style as the wife and

serves them with the necessaries of
life.-[New York World.

Removing n Serious Obstruction
Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove distractions from He'll
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest necessity
for 80 doing On the contrary, it is most
unwise None but the purblind adherents
of antiquated theories iii medicine advise
or sanction such a course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purgation-
is to compromise the health of the entire
system. With Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
on the other hand, the bowels are relaxed
not by a convulsion of nature approximat'
ing to an eruption of Mt. Popocatapetl, but
gradually, beneficially, without wrenching
or drenching. The liver and stomach. as
well as the bowels, are toned and benefited
by 1t.
